Say say say
What you want
But don’t play games
With my affection
Take take take
What you need
But don’t leave me
With no direction
All alone
I sit home by the phone
Waiting for you, baby
Through the years
How can you stand to hear
My pleading for you, dear?
You know I’m crying
Now go go go
Where you want
But don’t leave me
Here forever
You you you
Stay away
So long, girl, I
See you never
What can I do
Girl, to get through to you
’Cause I love you, baby
Standing here
Baptised in all my tears
Baby, through the years
You know I’m crying
You never ever worry
And you never shed a tear
You’re saying that
My love ain’t real
Just look at my face
These tears ain’t drying
You you you
Can never say
That I’m not the one
Who really loves you
I pray pray pray
Every day
That you’ll see things
Girl, like I do
What can I do
Girl, to get through to you?
’Cause I love you, baby
Standing here
Baptised in all my tears
Baby, through the years
You know I’m crying
Say say say
